There is a huge sports news story to be told here, an independent panel of three well respected retired judges have issued a report and adjudication that suggests that the governing body of one of the most important sports leagues in the world is, at its most generous interpretation, utterly incompetent and chaotic or, much worse, utterly corrupt and in cahoots with a subset of clubs to disort and manipulate the competition. In many ways the fact it was City bringing the action is irrelevant to the real substance of the story.
But instead what we get from.significant portions of the press is the kind of crap Barney Ronay has served up today which has already been called out by multiple posters. The level of sophistry being employed to avoid writing the real story is an indication, with a few honourable exceptions, of just how bankrupt much of what passes for sports journalism in this country these days actually is.

He’d still get paid for that though. It’d be terrible if he totally lost his voice...

They don’t care much for the law round there
We have had this verdict for 2 weeks, it was the PL holding its release back. So we had the results of this case at the start of the other hearing.

He’s saying that if people want to go after our sponsorships, which equate to not that much in the grand scheme of things, then they should be going even further into the far bigger sums of money procured unlawfully by other clubs through their owners loans, due to how he’s interpeted the judgment.
He’s overreaching but wouldn’t be surprised if he goes all in with it, he’d still be wrong but directing his ire wrongly at someone else rather than us for a change.

hi folks wake up to this reassuring news
different time zone
pretty sure someone asked this before on here
but what does this mean to our 115 charges ?

Lazy fucker. Not sure which timezone this is a reasonable breakfast time?
I've no where near your expertise but I did post on here soft loans should have a PIK element to adhere to FFP/PSR calculations. Our "friends" from Trafford have been paying proper commercial rates for years now.
Don't back a Tiger into a corner, the retaliation is inevitable.I think this TalkSport article drives a juggernaut through the City PSR case:
Why Man City's sponsorship win is a blow for Arsenal and Liverpool
Manchester City’s legal battle against the Premier League over Associated Party Transactions [APT] is set to be bad news for their rivals. An arbitration panel has declared that some of the P…talksport.com
I know the ruling is about the recent changes to ATP rules, but if not counting owners loans is unlawful, it must also be unlawful under preview PSR rules?
Surely, you can't have a situation where clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool would have breached PSR quite significantly if their owners loans were revalued at an FMV, and then punish City for breaches during the same period?
Can you have a situation where half the league have been funded by their owners circumventing PSR by a mechanism that is now deemed unlawful?
What will happen if clubs like Brighton, Everton, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea. Leicester, Brentford, Wolves, Palace, Bournemouth refuse to vote through the changes to the rules to make them lawful because it's against their interest to do so?
This is a dogs dinner, but we always knew it was
